One Thousand Men 

The pride taken by a man in his own achievements is 
a natural one. When overdone it is conceit, when well 
done it is a strong factor in the attainment of success and 
when underdone it is sometimes a contributing cause to a 
complete lack of ambition or confidence. The kind of pride 
a man takes or enjoys in his own success is felt also, per- 
haps at times in a slightly modified manner, in the success 
of his offspring, his brother or of any member of his im- 
mediate family. 

Carried still further the pride arising from the knowl- 
edge that one's locality, one's town, one's city, one's county, 
or one's state, has done well its part in producing men of 
attainments and all around solidity is a worthy one and 
must be shared by all normally minded individuals every- 
where. 

It has long been said and said truthfully that the men 
who came from Vermont have ever shown an exceeding 
desire to let the fact be well heralded and have pointed al- 
ways with pride to the "men from home" who either there 
or elsewhere have made names for themselves of state wide 
or national importance 

Nearly every state in the land has, scattered within its 
borders, state societies whose membership is composed 
solely of men or women, or both, who were born in some 
other particular commonwealth. Few of these are gener- 
ally more alive than Vermont societies and the latter's mem- 
bers are and always have been soundly loyal to each other 
as well as to the land of their nativity. 

It has long been said also that few states have produced 
as many prominent men in proportion to their population as 
has Vermont. 



4 ONE THOUSAND MEN 

Men of distinction are met everywhere every day whose 
early home and training are found to have been in the 
little Commonwealth of Vermont, away up next to Canada 
in the far northeastern part of the country, ranking forty- 
third in area with its sister states and with now, as it has 
always had, a very small number of men and women in its 
confines, any one of fifteen cities in the United States today 
exceeding, in fact, the total population of Vermont. 

But who all these men have been or are, just what they 
have done, what towns in Vermont they went from, their 
proportion to the other less well known natives of their 
home state and their state's percentage as compared with 
other states in its gifts to the world, have never to the 
author's knowledge been chronicled to any extent. 

The book first published by the Vermont Bureau of 
Publicity in 1913 under the name of "Vermont, the Land of 
the Green Mountains" and written by Walter Hill Crockett, 
in dealing with each town gives in many instances a few 
of the men of that town who were or are well known else- 
where. 

The author of the work which follows had long had 
such an idea in mind on a larger scale and taking the former 
book as a nucleus there has been prepared the material 
which appears in these pages. 

To accumulate the facts I have consulted page by page, 
Appleton's Encyclopedia of American Biography, the 
National Encyclopedia of American Biography, Nelson's 
Encyclopedia, the Encyclopedia Americana, the 1906 and 
1913 editions of Who's Who in America, the 1909 edition 
of Who's Who in New England, Gilman's Bibliography of 
Vermont and some half dozen books dealing largely with 
prominent Vermonters who have remained in the State. In 
addition to the above mentioned works some thirty-five 
Vermont town histories, the File of the Vermonter, Hemen- 



ONE THOUSAND MEN 6 

way's Gazetteer, Child's Gazetteer and numerous other 
sources have given up, now here, now there, other names 
to swell the fold. 

Women have not been included in this work for while 
Vermont has indeed produced a few women who have made 
names of state-wide and in a few rare cases of national 
importance, most lines of work which lend strong distinc- 
tion having in the past been more or less closed to women, 
there have appeared here at least, few names to have been 
employed in a work such as this. 

Neither have there been included by any means all the 
names of native Vermonters met with in encyclopedias and 
other high authorities usually discriminating, but the author 
eliminated instead as was thought best, being determined 
that the completed result should show only, either men 
all men have heard of, or men one could easily find to have 
stood high in their chosen vocations and communities. 

One thousand men have been found of whom about 
eighty-two percent left Vermont to perform their life work. 

It is not claimed by any manner of means that the name 
of every man born in Vermont who has attained high 
prominence can be found in these pages. 

The author early found from experience that they were 
indeed an elusive lot, many of both the earlier and later 
ones of whom every man knows by reputation having been 
"caught" when the list was supposed to have been completed. 

The writer well knows there are scores of Vermonters 
of solidity and high prominence not only in their adopted 
cities but states as well who combine with their ability a 
certain shrinking from publicity as far as possible, which 
tendency prevents their family history or birthplace appear- 
ing in the public print except on rare occasions and it is 
such men as these, generally men who have succeeded in 



6 ONE THOUSAND MEN 

business rather than in the professions whose names will be 
found lacking in this work. 

But considering the long and high list of authorities 
consulted together with the extreme care taken, one can 
be reasonably certain that a very large share of all of Ver- 
mont's most prominent sons is set forth in this treatise. The 
most perplexing part of the whole problem was to determine 
just who of the thousands of our able sons fell short of 
measuring up to the full standard of "the most prominent 
Vermonters." 

Not being paid in cold, hard money by any aspirant for 
a niche in the Hall of Fame, a copy of the work and a few 
extra steel engravings thrown in, the dividing line has all 
along been hard to determine and it can be assured that no 
two minds would select exactly the same thousand men but 
after long consultation with men whose opinions are sound 
and solid the writer has been led to believe that the dividing 
line has been as sensibly drawn as most men would desire. 
In selecting the Vermont men who have stood high in their 
own State there have been considered with some few excep- 
tions only men who have held prominent State positions 
such as Governors, Lieutenant-Governors, United States 
Congressmen, United States Senators, Secretaries of State, 
State Treasurers, Speakers of the House of Representa- 
tives, or men who have managed the few large businesses 
or corporations which have been carried on in Vermont and 
the list closes as of Jan. 1, 1914. 

The one thousand men first began to see the light of 
day in 1768 and one birth in 1879 completes the list bridging 
a span of one hundred and twelve years. The dates of 
birth are known of nine hundred and thirty-nine, of whom 
three hundred and forty-nine were born in the first half and 
five hundred and ninety in the last half of the period. Eighty- 
five were born prior to 1800 and the year of all years which 



ONE THOUSAND MEN 7 

gave birth to the greatest number was 1843 with twenty-six. 
The first man ever born in Vermont who reached a position 
of sufficient importance to admit his name to any encyclo- 
pedia of biography was Jonathan Hatch Hubbard, born in 
Windsor in 1768 who became a United States congressman 
from Vermont and a Judge of her Supreme Court and it is 
a peculiar fact that the third man born in this State, who 
attained prominence was a full blooded negro named Prince 
Saunders, born in Thetford in 1775, a man who became an 
author, a lawyer and attorney-general of Hayti. 

Vermont, always extremely small in colored population, 
has produced no other man of ability from that race. Ver- 
mont stands to-day forty-third in area and forty-third in 
population among her sister states. Her population in 1910 
was 355,956 and for half a century it has remained com- 
paratively stationary. When she was admitted to the Union 
she was the fourteenth state and the twelfth in population. 
During the last one hundred and twenty years she has ever 
been one of the least populated states and during all that 
time she has been sending her sons by tens and scores and 
hundreds out into the world to take high places in other 
communities and win for themselves names of honor else- 
where. It has been thought best to publish here a short 
synopsis of some of the more prominent facts to be gleaned 
from the pages which follow, while from the entire work 
the idea is easily established and the fact sustained that 
the greatest men in the land are very often reared in rural 
communities and that an early environment possessing 
limited advantages has never prevented ability from as- 
serting itself and finding its true place in the work of the 
world. Vermont has then produced twenty-five chief jus- 
tices for sixteen states and territories, nine for herself, two 
for Illinois and one each for North Dakota, Washington, 
Michigan, New Hampshire, Iowa, Minnesota, Alabama, In- 



8 ONE THOUSAND MEN 

diana, the District of Columbia, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ne- 
vada, Massachusetts and California. 

Not counting the above she has furnished fifty asso- 
ciate justices of the supreme court for seventeen states and 
territories, twenty-four for herself, four for New York, 
three each for New Hampshire and Massachusetts, two each 
for California, the District of Columbia and Ohio, and one 
each for Idaho, New Mexico, Dakota, Illinois, Minnesota, 
Arizona, Maryland, Maine, North Dakota and the Philip- 
pines. 

She has given to the nation twenty-four United States 
senators from fourteen states, ten from Vermont, two from 
Wisconsin and one each from Nebraska, Louisiana, Maine, 
Utah, Michigan, Minnesota, Arkansas, Illinois, Colorado, 
North Dakota, New Hampshire and Indiana. 

In her borders have been born one hundred and thirty- 
one United States congressmen for twenty-eight states of 
whom thirty-two went from Vermont, twenty-three from 
New York, twelve from Michigan, eight from Ohio, seven 
each from Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, 
five each from Minnesota and Pennsylvania, four from Iowa, 
two each from Indiana, Kansas and Illinois, and one each 
from Idaho, Missouri, Arizona, Dakota, Rhode Island, Vir- 
ginia, New Jersey, Tennessee, North Dakota, South Dakota, 
Louisiana, Washington, Maryland, California and Connecti- 
cut. She has given forty-six governors to sixteen states and 
territories, twenty-seven to herself, three to New Hampshire, 
two each to Indiana and Iowa and one each to Nevada, 
Alaska, Ohio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Michigan, Utah, 
New York, Colorado, Dakota, South Dakota and Louisiana. 
She has given to the church six bishops and one archbishop. 
In her confines have been born sixty-three editors of news- 
papers or magazines, who outside of Vermont have pre- 
sided over periodicals all of which possessed more than 



ONE THOUSAND MEN 9 

their state-wide prominence. Two hundred and ninety-two 
of her sons have been authors of from one to sixty sub- 
stantial volumes each, all of which have taken their place 
with the good literature of the world. She has furnished 
the nation with thirty-three brigadier-generals and eleven 
major-generals in the army and to the navy she has given 
one captain, one commodore and nine rear-admirals and 
one admiral. Forty-nine presidents of colleges and universi- 
ties have been born in Vermont as well as twelve artists, 
seven musical composers, three architects and four sculptors, 
all of unusual ability. 

Eight district judges for seven states and territories 
were born here, two for Vermont and one each for Iowa, 
Hawaii, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida. One 
hundred and one capitalists using the word in its broadest 
definition were born within these boundaries, nearly half 
of whom became millionaires and here were born also forty 
railroad presidents. 

Vermont has given to the nation three fathers of a 
President of the United States, two unsuccessful candi- 
dates for President, one President, one Vice-President, two 
chaplains of the United States Senate, one chaplain of the 
House of Congress, three secretaries of war, two of the in- 
terior, and one of the treasury, one postmaster-general, one 
attorney-general, an assistant secretary of war, and one also 
of the navy, the interior and the treasury, two registrars 
of the treasury, one chief examiner of the bureau of pen- 
sions, one commissioner-general of immigration, a chairman 
of the Interstate Commerce Commission, three commission- 
ers of patents and one secretary to the President. 

Here have been born United States ministers and am- 
bassadors to Spain, England, Switzerland, Venezuela, Aus- 
tria, Germany, Siam, Argentina, Panama, Colombia, Chili. 
Turkey, Uraguay and Paraguay, Italy, France and Russia. 



10 ONE THOUSAND MEN 

Vermont has furnished one United States commissioner to 
Samoa, one chief justice of Samoa, a governor-general of 
the Philippines, an insular governor of the Philippines, two 
mayors of New York City, a president of the New York 
Produce Exchange, of the New York Stock Exchange and 
of the New York Clearing House, an attorney-general of 
Hayti, a United States consul-general at London and the 
director^general of the Pan-American Union. 

Here too were born the founder of the Mormon church, 
the translator for the founder of the discovered book, a 
Mormon bishop and two presidents of the Mormon church, 
a president of the Postal Telegraph Company, the founder 
and father of civil service reform in this country, a presi- 
dent of the New York Life Insurance Company, two of the 
National Life, and one of the Home Life, a legal adviser to 
the Emperor of Japan, a president-general of the Sons of 
the American Revolution, the founder of the Adams Ex- 
press Company, the originator of the "patent insides" news- 
paper, the builder of the "Monitor," the first man to make 
Bessemer steel in America, a preacher of Lincoln's funeral 
sermon, the inventor of the time-lock, the saw for sawing 
marble, the saw for sawing granite, the cook stove, electric 
motor, gimlet pointed screw, refrigerator car and the car- 
penter's square, the builder of the first elevated railroad in 
New York and the founder of the New York World. 

The list might be long continued but enough appears 
above to give some idea of the standing and records of the 
sons of Vermont while a careful reading of the pages which 
follow cannot but convince that the State in proportion to 
its population ranks, in its gifts of ability, the first in the 
land. 

It has now been some years since an encyclopedia pure- 
ly of American biography has been struck from the press 
and in its stead to some considerable degree, have appeared 



ONE THOUSAND MEN 11 

from time to time succeeding editions of a work called 
"Who's Who in America." The publishers of this work 
aim to and do give as well as it can be done, the majority 
of the names and records of all the living men and women 
in this country who have in their professions or chosen 
vocations attained to positions in advance of their fellows. 

Employing, then, the 1913 edition we discover that all 
the states of the United States have produced sixteen 
thousand four hundred and sixteen of the living men and 
women mentioned in the work. 

Using these figures as a basis we find that Vermont 
with an output of three hundred and fifty-nine stands four- 
teenth in total relative production of children of ability and 
yet in 1860, in population her place was the twenty-eighth 
in the then thirty-three states, and today she ranks forty- 
second in population and forty-third in area. 

Always one of the very smallest of the commonwealths 
in both population and area, the percentage to her present 
population of her living sons and daughters mentioned to- 
day in "Who's Who in America" is exceeded by no state or 
territory in the whole land. 

It may, however, be truthfully said that the men found 
in "Who's Who in America" were not all born in the year 
1910, in any other one year, one decade or indeed in the 
same half century. 

Granting this it can be safely assumed that out of 
thousands who have attained prominence, while there may 
be many exceptions, an average age of forty-three years 
would certainly see the vast majority of these people at a 
point in their life work where their names would have be- 
come widely known. 

Counting back then forty-three years from 1913 to 
1870, the year in which they could have been born and now 
have been included in this work, we find that Vermont 



12 ONE THOUSAND MEN 

has produced one man or woman of high prominence to 
every nine hundred and twenty of her population in the 
latter year, being exceeded in the United States on that 
basis, only by the District of Columbia with one to each 
eight hundred and seventy-two and by the State of Massa- 
chusetts with one to seven hundred and ninety-nine. 

But cannot we explain the lead enjoyed over all others 
by the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts? The District of Columbia has for a century 
been inhabited by a large class of men standing high in the 
nation and representative in ability, men whose sons, by 
heredity, by environment and by good fortune have been 
assisted together with their ability, early and easily to 
positions of prominence and solidity. And while there 
could be found few men who would not thrill with satisfac- 
tion in the record of Massachusetts, the mother of New 
England whose good blood for three centuries has filled the 
entire Nation, West, East, North and South, one fact must 
be borne in mind. 

While she does not lead all the states in proportion 
to her present population as does Vermont, in the produc- 
tion of eminent sons, she does lead in proportion to her 
population in 1870 and the following may explain the cause. 

For decade after decade Massachusetts had then been 
and has been since, a center of literature, of art, of educa- 
tion, of refinement, of prosperity and of advance in every 
good motive. Her schools long the leaders, have never 
been second to any in this country and she has ever well 
given every advantage that could be discovered to her young 
and to her adult citizens. 

In all this she has done nobly a duty and the number 
of splendid men who have been born and reared within her 
confines attests well the fact. But what of her neighbor, 
the State of Vermont? Far, far smaller in population, with 



ONE THOUSAND MEN 13 

absolutely no large centers of culture and advantage, as 
have been scattered thickly through Massachusetts, sorely 
lacking in wealth, her population largely rural and well 
separated, with little incentive to a life beyond the narrow 
valleys in which they were hemmed, the little red or white 
or brown schoolhouse being until recent times the only 
source of education for the great majority — with all these 
disadvantages the little State of Vermont has sent forth 
a tremendous array of able men. 

We find that since 1790, Vermont has produced over 
nine hundred men of the very highest prominence. The 
mean of her population over that period has been about 
two hundred and twenty thousand and the mean of the 
population of the entire country over the same century and 
a quarter has been forty-seven millions. Had, then, all the 
United States reared ability in the same proportion as has 
Vermont about twenty-three thousand men and women born 
in this country since 1790, should appear in the American 
encyclopedia of biography today and "Who's Who in 
America" mentions but some sixteen thousand five hundred 
and in Appleton's Encyclopedia of Biography published 
some few years since, we find less than eleven thousand 
native born Americans. 

The early days of this Commonwealth were rife with 
the strife for liberty. Denied an independent existence our 
fathers shouldered their muskets, met in convention and 
then and there and all along by every word and deed in- 
sisted that they must be heard, they must be recognized, 
they must be independent. 

No other state in the Union was born in such bitter- 
ness or nourished with such contention, and through it all 
our ancestors acted like men. 

It can absolutely be proven that the old Commonwealth 
of Vermont, always one of the smallest in population ranks 



14 ONE THOUSAND MEN 

according to her strength first and foremost in her gifts to 
the world. 

At no time down through the late decades can but one 
state lead her in proportion to her population in illustrious 
sons and Massachusetts has all along held closely her own, 
while over eighty-two percent, of the prominent men born 
in Vermont have gone out from her borders to win fame 
and fortune in other lands. 

Other states have claimed the fruit of their labors and 
other states have adopted them but the fact must ever re- 
main that on these rock ribbed hills and in these narrow 
valleys their fathers toiled and lived and here their fathers 
lie. 

Here the sons were born and received their early train- 
ing and almost without an exception these sons have ever 
looked back and pointed back with a pride well justified to 
the scenes of their nativity and youth. 

To have been born in the State of Vermont is a credit 
to any man. 

That there must be errors in dates in the list which 
follows, the author is absolutely aware. Any compilation 
as large and drawn from so many sources is liable in in- 
stances to mistake and I can only state that my own part 
has been done as carefully as possible. The errors of others 
I cannot answer for, my own I will assume without further 
comment.
